> But Anderson also pulled votes from more-or-less Republicans who didn't believe Reagan's assertion that cutting taxes and increasing spending would narrow the deficit.

When Reagan's own people said his economics were bullshit…

> Following Reagan's election, the "trickle-down" reached wide circulation with the publication of "The Education of David Stockman" a December 1981 interview of Reagan's incoming Office of Management and Budget director David Stockman, in the magazine Atlantic Monthly. In the interview, Stockman expressed doubts about supply side economics, telling journalist William Greider that the Kemp–Roth Tax Cut was a way to rebrand a tax cut for the top income bracket to make it easier to pass into law.[25] Stockman said that "It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."[25][26][27]

Yes, they are so vastly underfunded they cannot follow all such wild fantasy chases without ignoring things for which they have evidence, which would necessarily put other things behind, and then you could rant about those things.

Is this answer enough for something you could simply try to understand directly instead of repeating such simplistic and myopic beliefs?

Why?

Why do you put a weird computer model between you and a computer and errr Your Faith? Do bear in mind that hallucinations might correspond to something demonic (just saying)

I'm a bit of a rubbish Christian but I know a synoptic gospel when I see it and can quote quite a lot of scripture. I am also an IT consultant.

What exactly is the point of Faith if you start typing questions into a ... computational model ... and trusting the outputs? Surely you should have a decent handle on the literature: It's just one big physical book these days - The Bible. Two Testaments and a slack handful of books and that for each. I'm not sure exactly but it looks about the same size as the Lord of the Rings.

I've just checked: Bible: 600k LotR: 480K - so not too far off.

I get that you might want to ask "what if" types of questions about the scriptures but why would you ask a computer? Faith is not embedded in an Intel Core i7 or an Nvidia A100.

Faith is Faith. ChatGPT is odd.
Bush played isolationist in the 2000 election, but the people he lined up in his actual gov't once he took power clearly were not. So it was always going to turn out the way it did, with him continuing the little quests his father and Reagan were on.

It's just the same internal power play within the GOP for decades. Explicitly imperialist adventurism, or a sad attempt isolationist foreign policy that never actually happens. See the way they're incoherent on Ukraine, now.
I’m hoping that the problems caused by their effort to avoid viewpoint moderation will be overcome by their composable self-moderation idea. It is increasingly straightforward to control what you see (graze.social is a good example, along with number tools inside bsky itself), both for safety and for creating a well-tuned echo chamber.

Add some more tools to facilitate selection of people to block and the only real problem left will be people demanding performative loyalty acts.

> I am still stunned that Brexit was left to a 50% + epsilon referendum.

The problem with not proceeding following a "50% + epsilon" is you're then suddenly ignoring the majority of the electorate which has its own political backlash.

The trick is to not have a referendum unless the outcome likely to be definitive. This is actually codified in the Good Friday agreement as a condition for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to call an Irish unification referendum.
100%

Even then, people who are new will inevitably be skeptical that this kind of culture is real. And they may be right that it isn't real for them, even if you think it's real.

I saw this a bunch joining a ginormous tech company decades after its rise; old-timers thought things were true about the culture that may have still been true for them, but which didn't seem true to me.

(Also, nobody feels more betrayed than those old-timers when the culture turns cut-throat during difficult times.)
Having not been born during his presidency, whenever I think of Jimmy Carter, I think of his appearance in Travels in Georgia [1], a John McPhee essay that's mostly about following a couple of workers for the Georgia Natural Areas council as they travel through and collect information about Natural Areas in the early 1970s. Jimmy Carter, then-governor, pops up at the end to be taken in a canoe down a river that the couple of workers want protected. Having basically nobody around to impress, Carter is nonetheless affable, open, curious, and generally good-hearted. The piece ends at the governor's mansion, like this:

A ball sat on the pavement. Before going in, we shot baskets for a while. "The river is just great," the Governor said, laying one in. "And it ought to be kept the way it is. It's almost heartbreaking to feel that the river is in danger of destruction. I guess I'll write a letter to all the landowners and say, 'If you'll use some self-restraint, it'll decrease the amount of legal restraint put on you in the future.' I don't think people want to incur the permanent wrath of the governor or the legislature."

"I've tried to talk to property owners," Carol said. "To get them to register their land with the Natural Areas Council. But they wouldn't even talk to me."

The Governor said, "To be blunt about it, Carol, why would they?"

The Governor had the ball and was dribbling in place, as if contemplating a property owner in front of him, one-on-one. He went to the basket, shot, and missed. Carol got the rebound and fed the ball to Sam. He shot. He missed, too.

Sure, they could be lazy in a lot of ways in how they execute this survey leading to unreliable results -- indeed, fielding it through something like qualtrics could be said to be "lazier" than attempting to solicit and engage readers of your own individual site. It would be pretty hard and expensive to get enough responses yourself for even a lazy, low-quality result, vs. the at-scale offerings of a vendor.
I think the key word in the guidelines is “generally”. Exceptions seem to be made for the deaths of major figures, massively consequential events, etc.

The “hide” button was made for this situation IMO.
Fast, Robust Google Flights Scraper (API) for Python
I'm from the UK and almost everyone I know is finding it hard to get work in tech right now. There's also a lot of strange stuff going on in hiring here (especially for remote roles).

There's a huge number of what appear to be fake applicants who when interviewed appear to be based on India for remote roles (bad internet connection, very poor English, unusual decoration for a British home or use of background, strange background noises).

While these people can generally provide an ID of someone based in the UK and who has a legal right to work, my assumption is that they are not actually that individual.

In non-remote hiring there's been an explosion in the numbers of boot-camp devs applying for positions which is making it difficult to find good developers between weeds of applicants. The average developer role might get 300+ applications when 5-10 years ago that might have been 10-20.

I've also noticed a huge increase in companies filling underpaid positions by importing talent from abroad (generally from India). I used to work in the public sector and this seems to have been an increasingly common practice over the last few years. This may be because the public sector has found it hard to compete with private sector tech salaries and with the boom in migration in recent years they have started to turn to foreign talent as a way to fill roles where they're offering below-market-rate salaries (although I'm sure they'll claim there's a shortage of British people applying for these positions but we know that's salary related).

I think all of this combined along with the tech slowdown and economic stagnation in the UK has basically created a toxic combination in which it's very hard for UK tech workers to find work.

And because I know people will accuse me of xenophobia for what I'm saying here to be clear, I'm not suggesting any of this is bad or the fault of foreign workers. My family are working class and have had to compete with foreign labourers for many many years now. Many middle-class people like myself were quick to agree this was good for the economy and suggesting that it was simply that British workers were too lazy and didn't want to do jobs like clean toilets (well, except my mum I guess). So honestly if anything I think it's good that this trend is now hitting middle-class knowledge workers because perhaps now there will be a discussion about whether countries like the UK should be thought of primarily as economic zones in which its population are simply economic units which can be exchanged with economic units from other nations when it makes sense for businesses do so. Or whether alternatively the UK is nation which owes its best opportunities to its own citizens first, rather than offering them to a global labour pool (even if this is better for business and corporate profits).

They don’t need to make a moat for AI, they need to make a moat for the OpenAI business, which they have a lot of flexibility to refactor and shape.
while your experience might be tolerable that in no way reflects the realities for people at large. I have several close friends that are SWEs with high 6-figure salaries and “great” insurance that went through health scares that can tell you absolute horror stories (Dr. says this is gravery serious matter, you neee this test, call to schedule (in October) no availability till March in 100 mile radius - we live in the capital of the free world).

I also have family in Canada that first-hand say that what we are reading here about Canada’s health care system is absolute garbage and lies… so there’s that…
Rust is great for building databases because it ensures memory safety, avoids garbage collection, and prevents memory leaks and data races. Databend is a prime example—it's one of the largest database projects written in Rust, with over 476,000 lines of code developed from scratch over the past three years. While Rust isn't as widely adopted as some other languages, its use in projects like Databend demonstrates its potential for creating high-performance, reliable systems.
In the sleeping cabins I can sleep fine, but they're usually really expensive. In the couchettes I can sleep about 50-60% of the time. In the seats, not at all.

So I go for couchettes. One time in Sweden I found that the sleepers were only 10 euro more than the couchettes, so then I took one.
I think everyone who spent time computing in the 80s & 90s has at least one tale of woe relating to forgetting to save or crashing before a save or tripping over a power plug, etc.

In retrospect it seems pretty wild that users were expected to actuate an explicit “save” command and that word processors didn’t just handle this automatically.

I’m sure there were real reasons - I was never involved in DOS or Windows programming but I presume it had to do with the slowness of saving to disk (and that a background auto-save wasn’t technically possible?). Or did we just not yet collectively have enough experience to know that auto saving was something critical to writers…?
I'm not sure what this has to do with my comment or the one I was replying to.

The first time I used a flare with their support agents, it truly felt like magic. It's such a clever way to perform data collection for a specific, imperative need without doing a dragnet of constant use telemetry (as far as I'm aware)
it simply is :)

EDIT: I’ll elaborate quickly why… the country is so divided these days that you can hardly engage in any conversation regarding politics across the aisle. so your only option to discuss things is with like-minded people. now when you get into like-minded group there is a herd mentality happening and serious echo chamber. here’s a personal example - one of my dearest friends on this planet used to be as liberal as they come - 100% all the way… over the years, due to various reasons like the direction of the democratic party as well as deep-end social media she turned right. it did not happen overnight, it happened over several election cycles. I have watched her be swayed to the right on issue by issue … I am educated and wise and I understood this (she is not the only one either in my “circle”) and I looked at all the issues and was like “ok, sure but she will NEVER be against abortion…” well… you know how this story ends…

I do believe that majority (I was talking in absolutes before but of course there are no absolutes) of americans are simply not smart enough to realize that two-party system made them mental slaves to those parties… finding pro-abortion republican might be as interesting as trying to find waldo :)

We would need sufficient evidence to conclude it's as dangerous as smoking, which I'm not sure we have.

Also, we would need sufficient evidence to conclude that they all have the user inhale burning copper or plastic, which I'm not sure we have.
Yes it is detectable, if IT wants to, and they should be monitoring what software is installed on the work PC because of potential security issues. This means you could end up in trouble (including termination).
Prior to the NRA’s big push in the late seventies, gun control as a concept was uncontroversial as the first gun control laws dated back to the earliest days of the country. Reagan expanding coverage due to the Black Panthers was in line with earlier precedent (after Kennedy was assassinated, during WWII, during the Mob / prohibition era, etc.).

Basically, certain diasphoras have figured out how to game the system last few years, from asylum claims to getting beds at various transitional housing programs. On one hand they are taking up space previously used to shelter Canadians, on the other hand many of them do diligently work through transitional programs and make their way into Canadian society, but they're not exactly skilled labour and substantially contributing to the economy. On the third hand, my understanding is they're much easier to deal with for shelther staff.
Deregulation isn't automatically bad or good. Some regulations need to be removed, and some shouldn't be removed or should be added.

To deconstruct/interrogate your statement: What does "genetic closeness" mean? Humans are all "genetically close." So then maybe you mean "phenotypical closeness"? But then of course people who are "phenotypically close" kill and oppress each other in droves all the time. Or maybe you mean family? I live in probably the most atomized society in the world, familial bonds are extremely thin here in the U.S. -- it's 100% expected that you'll leave family forever as a coming of age as early as possible.
What does AGI even mean in this case? If progress toward more capable and more cost-effective agents is incremental, I don't see a defensible moat. (You can maintain a moat given continued outpaced investment, but following remains more cost-effective)

It's good to see someone have the humility to lay out their strong previous position and then renounce it in plain language. So much public communication these days consists of hedging, back-pedaling, and other forms of strategic disavowal.
I know two people who got the o1 visa, without any top skills. Professionally, their work was very poor and their track record exaggerated, if not fake. During the time they got theirs accepted (which showed up on my Twitter timeline), noticed that plenty of other random people were celebrating getting theirs too. All approved around the same period. I’m pretty sure that it was the o1 visa because I clicked to try to understand what that meant. And was also curious how someone so untalented got it and why so many people were mentioning it on Twitter (I understand the algorithm was curating these for me as I showed interest).
> In the 1970s, the feared effect was global cooling.

Not really. From your Wikipedia link:

> In the scientific papers which considered climate trends of the 21st century, fewer than 10% were inclined towards future cooling, while most papers predicted future warming.[1] […] By the time the idea of global cooling reached the public press in the mid-1970s temperatures had stopped falling, and there was concern in the climatological community about carbon dioxide's warming effects.[4] In response to such reports, the World Meteorological Organization issued a warning in June 1976 that "a very significant warming of global climate" was probable.[5]

It was a small minority in the scientific community. The concern got blown out of proportion by some cover stories.

I did dell.com -> support -> drivers & downloads -> type "Inspiron 16 Plus" instead of the service tag and pick the 7640 model from the drop down -> select 'Driver' for download type and 'Storage' for the category.

I'd be pretty disappointed if I put in an actual service tag and nothing showed up. I wonder if it's showing you stuff that's been released since your specific laptop left the factory? This RST driver is dated November 29.
Okay, checking in here, so you see a 'parameter' as being an encoding? Is that like a unique encoding ? Like a bit pattern or more like a DNA pattern?

> Is Saudi Arabia’s treatment of gay people or women even a consideration? No.

With a reductive enough set of criteria, you could say this of any ally of any nation anywhere in the world. If China was allied with the US instead of adversarial, you'd probably be calling out American tolerance of the Xinjiang cotton industry. But there is serious scrutiny of it, enabled by a remove from Chinese politics and party-aligned thought. If China respected the criticism they received from abroad, they would have a much clearer path to being a respected international power.

From an American perspective, partnership with the Saudis isn't completely irredeemable. In fact, things are going pretty well - womens rights were enhanced (albeit not fixed), cultural reform succeeded, Sharia law was partially denounced and minors were exempted from the death sentence. As opposed to what would have happened without diplomatic relations, these citizens would have suffered even greater injustice. Giving Saudi Arabia an obligation to the international community actually did improve the conditions of their government and the people living there. It didn't magically correct things overnight, but the thaw is working.

If you really want to make Americans piss their breeches, just mention Israel. That is a proper example of an unrepentant US ally that has abused the trust of the international community and continues to deviate from the global basis of human rights. Khashoggi dies, and the world is up in arms. The Mossad or the IDF does the same thing, and everyone asks why you're surprised since Israel has been targeting journalists for decades.

Of course, American nationalists treat Israel the way Chinese nationalists treat Tiananmen Square. The idea of it being a problem is denied - instead, it's a "small chapter in history", "it was justified", "it all happened so long ago" and "we can't do anything to fix it".
